Radiation Watch over USA & Northern Hemisphere

–

Radiation levels can be monitored across the USA, and the Northern Hemisphere, for those who are concerned about radiation exposure.

See map on this page which is kept updated:

How the Map Works:

A growing number of Radiation Monitoring Stations across the country, using various models of Digital Geiger Counters, upload their Radiation Count data in real time to their computer using a Data Cable, and then over the Internet to this web site, all of this accomplished through Geiger Graph for Networks software.

How to Read the Map:

Referring to the Map Legend at the bottom left corner of the map, locate Monitoring Stations around the country that are contributing radiation data to this map as you read this, and watch the numbers on those monitoring stations update as frequently as every minute (your browser will automatically refresh). 

The numbers represent radiation Counts per Minute, abbreviated CPM, and under normal conditions, quantify the level of background radiation, i.e. environmental radiation from outer space as well as from the earth’s crust and air. 

Depending on your location within the US, your elevation or altitude, and your model of Geiger counter, this background radiation level might average anywhere from 5 to 60 CPM, and while background radiation levels are random, it would be unusual for those levels to exceed 130 CPM. 

Thus, the "Alert Level" for the National Radiation Map is 130 CPM, so if you see any Monitoring Stations with CPM value above 130, further indicated by an Alert symbol over those stations, it probably means that some radioactive source above and beyond background radiation is responsible.

Radiation can be picked up by the jet stream.

This is how the jet stream moves over the country:

–

The jet stream will also carry this around the globe, so other countries should be aware of this.

–

Also, added to any nuclear generated radiation, we also have solar radiation, making some areas more sensitive to increased amounts of radiation.

This seems to be a good guide to radiation fallout, and how to respond:

There is a helpful section on how to protect farms as well.

Right now, on March 27, 2011, there does not seem to be a threat from Japan.

But this guide can be used to monitor nuclear fallout from Japan, and other future possible threats.

Marianne’s note:

If something terrible really does happen, the results could be quite deadly.

The half life for Uranium – 235, and -238 is in the billions of years, Plutonium – 239 is about 25,000 years.  Cesium –137 is about 30 years.  These 3 isotopes can be used to make bombs.

The radiation we normally see from power plant defects is iodine – 131.  Its half life is 8 days.  

The wrong dose of anything can be serious.

We need to remember there is a God who will answer in time of need, if we just humble ourselves, repent of our sins, and call upon Him in faith.
